A New York judge has denied former President Donald Trump’s request to overturn his conviction in the hush money case related to payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Judge Juan M. Merchan dismissed Trump’s claims about the use of certain evidence. Despite the conviction, Trump continues to run for president, asserting his innocence. The implications of the case remain significant as it marks Trump’s status as the first former president convicted of a crime, potentially impacting his upcoming presidential campaign.
